I have an easy cooking week ahead of me, especially since we are going out Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night for dinner! Not our usual, but we have a kids concert tonight that would only be compete with a pre-party pizza, Thursday night we have a committee meeting so we are grabbing a quick bite afterward, and Friday we have been invited out to dinner. My goal for this week was to keep our budget tight at the grocery store, and since we had 1 frozen chicken breast in the freezer, I was able to get away with buying fresh produce and ground turkey to complete all of our meals this week, putting us at a $40 grocery bill--not bad for 3 people!
Here's our line-up:
Sunday: Italian Turkey Burgers with sweet potato fries (I use the Alexia's frozen ones, they are very tasty and fairly healthy)
Monday: Betty Crocker's Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps with leftover Lo Mein (have you ever frozen lo mein? It actually freezes really well. I always freeze whatever we have left over and then just heat it up on the stove-top and toss in extra veggies and a little soy sauce)
Tuesday: Pizza from Screamin' Mimi's
Wednesday: Pasta Primavera
Thursday: Dinner out
Friday: Out again ;-)
Saturday: Chicken Enchiladas with Goya Black Beans and Rice
The Italian Turkey Burgers were very tasty and juicy--plus they were simple to make!
